Pepper Spray Overview

Pepper sprays are lachrymatory agents that trigger eyes to produce tears. Pepper sprays are most used by corrections and law enforcement agencies across the U.S. Also, the sprays are mostly used in self-defense for protection from attacks by either people or animals.

Covid-19 Impact on Pepper Spray Market

The novel coronavirus pandemic had a devastating effect on several industries, and the pepper spray market experienced a negative growth during this period. As a result of COVID-19 pandemic, people faced issues such as complete avoidance of social life and massive shutdown leading to the decreased demand for pepper sprays. All such factors may restrict the global pepper spray market growth.

However, several companies are helping the society to recover from the chaotic situation with their strategic plans and steps. For instance, Mace Security International, Inc., US based manufacturer of personal safety & security products, in April 2020, announced that they have experienced high growth rate of their personal safety products such as pepper sprays during the pandemic times. Also, the company is fully operational through their online channel. The above-stated factors show that the pandemic may generate substantial investment opportunities in the market in the coming years.

Moreover, increasing rate of women assaults and rapes is inspiring women to adopt self-defense products that are light weight and convenient to use, thereby driving the adoption of pepper spray.

The emergence of women crime related issues and demand for pepper sprays, are already leading market players to innovate strategies to protect women. For example, SABRE, Security Equipment Corp, U.S. based public safety company, in June 2021, announced that they have launched the smallest pepper spray canister known as mighty discreet.

Therefore, such factors may create a negative impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Growing Trends of Outdoor Activities to Create Massive Investment Opportunities

The global pepper spray market is growing at a very fast pace due to rising trends of outdoor activities such as hunting, camping, and other type of recreational activities. People across the globe are opting for pepper sprays while hiking as they are compact, effective, light weight to carry, and very helpful in protection from common threats.  Moreover, during camping one of the biggest threats is presence of dangerous bears mostly found in the U.S. and Canada. Above mentioned reasons are anticipated to be the major growth accelerating factors of the pepper spray.
